Minot Police Arrest Two in Connection with Infant Death Investigation Spanning Three Years and Multiple States

Minot Police have arrested a 49-year-old man and a 45-year-old woman in connection with a multi-state investigation into the death of an infant approximately three years ago. The child's death, which is believed to have occurred in Texas, was never reported. The arrests followed an initial response to a domestic violence report in southeast Minot. During the investigation, authorities learned about the deceased infant, believed to be the child of the arrested individuals. Police located a tote matching the description of one reportedly containing the child's remains, which was then sent to the state medical examiner’s office for further examination. Both individuals face felony charges of death of a child and disturbing a human burial site. The man is currently held at the Ward County Jail, while the woman is receiving medical care and will be transported to the jail once medically cleared.

Richardson ISD Sued Over Alleged Mishandling of Special Needs Student's Discipline

Richardson ISD Sued Over Alleged Mishandling of Special Needs Student's Discipline

Richardson Independent School District (RISD) is facing a federal civil rights lawsuit alleging discrimination against a special needs student. The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, claims RISD repeatedly failed to provide adequate support and accommodations for a 14-year-old student, identified as C.W., who has emotional disorders and ADHD. According to the student's attorney, Mark Whitburn, RISD's mishandling of disciplinary processes, including an in-school suspension (ISS) and subsequent expulsion to a juvenile justice alternative education program (JJAEP), caused significant trauma and negatively impacted the student's ability to learn in a public school environment. The lawsuit details instances where the district allegedly failed to recognize the connection between the student's disability-related behaviors and disciplinary incidents, leading to inappropriate responses. A state hearing officer previously ruled that a September incident, which led ...

Mediation Fails in Lawsuit Against College Station Over Deadly Police Raid

Mediation Fails in Lawsuit Against College Station Over Deadly Police Raid

Mediation efforts have failed to resolve a federal lawsuit filed by the family of Mark Hopkins against the City of College Station, Texas, following his death during a police raid in February 2023. Hopkins, a 22-year-old Blinn College student, was shot and killed by College Station police officers who were executing a search warrant at a home on Spring Loop. Hopkins and his girlfriend were reportedly awakened by what they believed were intruders, prompting Hopkins to fire a shotgun, to which police responded with fatal force. Court records later confirmed that Hopkins was not the target of the narcotics investigation that led to the raid; the intended target was Abraham Escobar, described by police as a 'high-level drug dealer.' A Brazos County grand jury cleared the officer who fired the fatal shot. The Hopkins family's lawsuit accuses officers of using a false statement to obtain the search warrant, withholding body camera footage, and using an M84 flash-bang grenade during the raid.

Texas Game Wardens Issue 160 Violations in Illegal Fishing Bust at Texas City Dike

Texas Game Wardens issued approximately 160 citations and warnings to three individuals involved in illegal fishing activities at the Texas City Dike. The bust occurred after a concerned citizen reported suspicious fishing activity during the early morning hours. Game wardens conducted surveillance from a concealed position, observing the three individuals actively deploying and tending multiple nets and repeatedly filling a cooler with aquatic resources. Upon making contact, wardens discovered the group possessed four illegal gill nets totaling over 700 feet in length and an oversized cast net. Gill nets are prohibited in Texas public waters due to their indiscriminate killing of marine life. Cast nets are only legal for taking nongame fish for bait purposes and must not exceed 14 feet in diameter. The individuals had illegally taken 137 saltwater fish of various species, three stone crabs, and one sponge crab. Additionally, two of the three individuals did not possess valid fishing licenses.
